NR8+NR108+GM1 0n PB4 (approx 35 wagons) have arrived in Sydney today.
Times were: North Goulburn 0917 Bundanoon 1030 Picton 1140 Campbelltown
1210. PB4 was delayed due to a late running MB4 out of Goulburn (2
NR's). This resulted in a limestone train out of Medway Quarry (82+81)
also getting a run ahead of PB4. Because of all this the local (SN42 -
Endeavour railcar) had to wait until the down XPT had passed at
Bundanoon before running across from the down refuge to the up platform
to pick up passengers. It then left before PB4 meaning that there would
be no cross at Picton today. The GM was "B" end leading today and not
powering. Further to yesterday's post I have been advised by an NRC
driver I spoke to today that the Westrail loco's were not powering
yesterday. He also stated that all NRC trains will run via Sydney
(rather than the Moss Vale - Wollongong line) until further notice due
to the condition if the track.
